Jesse Wood's heavily pregnant girlfriend Gemma Gregory battles Britain's heatwave as they share pictures from the idyllic countryside bolthole

Jesse Wood's heavily pregnant girlfriend Gemma Gregory showed off her baby bump in a series of Instagram snaps as she battled Britain's heatwave.

Gemma, 40, shared pictures from their idyllic countryside bolthole, after they moved into the property in May. She captioned the post: 'Heat waving'.

Musician Jesse, 49, - who split from his wife  17 months ago - and  Gemma announced they are expecting on Instagram in April. 

On Friday last week, the UK record for the hottest day in June was broken for a third day in a row, with temperatures reaching 37.5C. 

And Gemma seemed to be struggling as she shared one selfie where she covered her chest in just a tea towel. 

In other photos the couple looked loved-up as they enjoyed dates in summer sunshine. 

The reality star already has an 11-year-old son from a previous relationship, while Jesse shares two children with Fearne and two children with his first wife Tilly Wood.

Fearne was his second wife, following a previous marriage to Katherine 'Tilly' Boone, 52, with whom he also has two adult children.

Insiders said at the time that their relationship progressed quickly following the shock collapse of Jesse's decade-long marriage in December 2024, followed by Fearne's new relationship with Elliot Hegarty, a television director ten years her senior.

Ronnie's ex-wife Jo Wood, who helped raise Jesse, said of the split from Fearne last year: 'I was shocked actually. I didn't expect Fearne to have a new boyfriend. And Jesse was devastated.

'But sometimes in life, you have to go through these things. It may be daunting at first, but every cloud has a silver lining. Nothing lasts forever. I hope Fearne will be very happy.

'I'm sure Jesse's going to be very happy. These things work out. Their time was up - they had to move on.'

Jesse, who previously dated the likes of Kate Moss, Kate Hudson and model Jasmine Guinness, has not spoken publicly in detail about his split from Fearne.

She, however, addressed it during an appearance on Lorraine last March, saying: 'It's all very amicable and the kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.'
